The Secret of Apples: A Collection of Poetry

Shannon McNellis writes beautifully crafted poems that light hidden corners of the human spirit like an unexpected match. Her insights abound with gentle wit and wisdom. She is a spy in her own world, finding odd perches and angles of vision from which to study it. She brings a fresh new voice to American poetry, and this first collection of her work is a gem. -Dennis Ward Stiles, The Fire in Which We Burn
